Refund Policy

Because each class has limited seating and requires advance food preparation, all registrations are final and non-refundable. Think of your reservation like purchasing a concert ticket—you’re always welcome to send someone in your place if you cannot attend. Alternatively, feel free to reach out. We may be able to move you to another date. 

Refunds are only offered if Monkeypod Jam must cancel due to unforeseen circumstances or low participation (fewer than six guests). Mahalo for understanding that these policies allow us to operate sustainably and continue offering boutique-style classes.
